Future of Bluetooth

* Broadcast Channel: enables Bluetooth information points. This
will drive the adoption of Bluetooth into mobile phones, and enable
advertising models based around users pulling information from the
information points, and not based around the object push model that is
used in a limited way today.

* Topology Management: enables the automatic configuration of the
piconet topologies especially in scatternet situations that are
becoming more common today. This should all be invisible to the users
of the technology, while also making the technology just work.

* Alternate MAC PHY: enables the use of alternative MAC and PHY's
for transporting Bluetooth profile data. The Bluetooth Radio will
still be used for device discovery, initial connection and profile
configuration, however when lots of data needs to be sent, the high
speed alternate MAC PHY's will be used to transport the data. This
means that the proven low power connection models of Bluetooth are
used when the system is idle, and the low power per bit radios are
used when lots of data needs to be sent.

* QoS improvements: enable audio and video data to be transmitted
at a higher quality, especially when best effort traffic is being
transmitted in the same piconet.
